Web UI shows a blank page

[mYnDstrEAm]

When starting the Web UI with http-ui on or exactly as described in the documentation with sudo bettercap -caplet http-ui after having changed the credentials in /usr/share/bettercap/caplets/http-ui.cap (/usr/local/share does not have a bettercap folder) I'm getting just a blank page with the bettercap favicon and bettercap set as the page title.

It might have to do with some other problems that cause the sniffing to not really work. I asked about it here.

Environment

• Bettercap version v2.27.1
• Kali Linux 64bit
• Command sudo bettercap / sudo bettercap -debug (and sudo bettercap -caplet http-ui)
• Full debug output:

>> http-ui on
[mod.started] api.rest
[sys.log] [inf] api.rest api server starting on http://127.0.0.1:8081
[mod.started] http.server
[sys.log] [inf] http.server starting on http://127.0.0.1:80
>> 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Kali Linux virtual machine on Debian/KDE with nftables firewall
2. Start bettercap
3. Turn on http-ui
4. Open localhost with preinstalled Kali Linux browser

Expected behavior: I expected it to show the Web UI.

Actual behavior: It showed a blank/empty/white page.

Same here!

Same here, there is a similar issue on github.com/bettercap/ui which has a recommended fix but I just tried it and it did not work.

same at me

I had a similar problem in kali, because kali install bettercap in different path by default, this was resolved installing the last version of golang and compile bettercap from command line as describe in the oficial website:

1. go get github.com/bettercap/bettercap
2. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/bettercap/bettercap
3. make build
4. sudo make install

didn't work for me either..

Yeah....me too, my browser said " 404 page not found "

[philmacrack]

i used
sudo docker run -it --privileged --net=host bettercap/bettercap -eval "http-ui; ui.update"
and i got to the web ui

Also getting the "404 page not found" error although it only seems to happen with https-ui. Running without SSL locally seems to work okay.

Tried an alternate clean install and build with npm instead of git and still didn't cooperate. Tested in elinks to make sure it wasn't firefox or midori misbehaving. Still nothing.

Also experiencing the same thing. Has anyone found a fix for this yet?

For anyone facing this issue i did:

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/bettercap /usr/local/share/bettercap

then:

sudo bettercap -caplet http-ui

Good luck guys.
